Facile method for spectroscopic examination of radical ions of hydrophilic carotenoids
2009
Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics - PCCP
Hydrophilic carotenoids, unusual members of an intrinsically hydrophobic family, and their radical ions are important reactants. An all-optical method for generating singly charged radical ions of a hydrophilic carotenoid (Car) is described. It relies on photolyzing an aqueous mixture of Car and a photoionizable auxiliary solute (A), and making conditions conducive to the capture, by Car, of the hydrated electron (e À aq ) or the positive hole in A + or both. When A is Trolox (TOH), only e À aq
